Rand Paul took to social media yesterday to give us a little teaser of an announcement that he would have a message for us today. Well, here it is: The #NeverNikki campaign.
I’ll forgive Rand for making a silly little teaser yesterday. Never mind that he was already in front of a camera and announcing a teaser on social media. You don’t have to pre-announce stuff anymore, Rand; we are in 2024 now.
But anyway, the #NeverNikki campaign. I like it.
Of course, some people are coming out attacking him. Enter Laura Loomer:
This site created by @RandPaul bothers me in light of his cheeky X post today.
While I appreciate the fact that @RandPaul is anti- @NikkiHaley, he still hasn’t endorsed President Trump.
For the sake of TRANSPARENCY AND HONESTY, Senator @RandPaul, why are you collecting emails… https://t.co/y9QJFxPXAB pic.twitter.com/bT33XsH21Z

Laura wants to know why Rand is collecting emails. :: eye roll :: There is no gotcha moment here, Laura. But notice Rand’s response. It’s a smart move by Rand Paul. And yes, you’ll be added to a list and agree to terms for receiving donation evangelism.
A popular Senator like Rand, his endorsement carries some weight. So when someone as likable as he is comes out and UNENDORSED you, well, I mean, can it get any more embarrassing for the candidate?
Rand Paul went a step further and started a website. He lists many reasons why he is #NeverNikki on the new website, which should NOT be confused with the NNH PAC Never Haley website.
Man, that’s gotta sting, Nikki.
Rand Paul tells us he doesn’t know who his first choice is just yet. I get that; neither do I. But wouldn’t it be great if he came out for Vivek Ramaswamy! That would shake some things up, no? He won’t do it. I can only dream. Vivek obviously isn’t going to win it, but I don’t want him to go away from politics either.
This is a great little short interview with Vivek. He has visited all 99 counties twice and is still in fourth place. Dang. He’s out there, on the ground, talking to the voters. And still not popular in the polls.
Vivek Ramaswamy and Rand Paul probably have more in common and share more of the ideas and policies. Their alignment on what Americans want is more compact and closer to them than anyone in the mainstream media will pontificate on.
But Rand, in the past, balked at some of Trump’s policies, which is funny because many people say that Vivek is just a shill for Trump.
So, while Rand hasn’t endorsed anyone yet, it’s tough; he has definitely come out against Nikki Haley.
Most of us can agree it won’t be Nikki Haley, either. That would be more of the same as what we are already getting.
That’s gonna leave a mark, finding out that Rand hasn’t endorsed anyone but has created a unique campaign AGAINST YOU, Nikki.
One of the Victory Girls covered the Ron DeSantis/Nikki Haley debate earlier this week, and Nikki constantly shrieked Ron DeSantis Lies Dot Com! I wish I had counted how many times she brought it up. It gave Rand the idea for his #NeverNikki campaign and website.
You gotta love today’s campaign strategies.

John Shepherd says: I have soured on Haley as a nominee although I have been a DeSantis guy from the beginning. Rand, like his father is an isolationist who would be happy to let the BRICs run the show.
Ramaswamy is only popular with the Trump/Populist crowd. His campaign has foundered because Trump is still the one. He also a phony who took Soros money, lied about it saying he could only afford to go to Harvard because of the Soros money, and then bribed a wikipedia editor to remove the Soros connection and his company’s relationship to the Ohio State Covid taskforce from his entry.
John Shepherd says: I should have included this in my original post but Ron Paul was a big Iran supporter who endorsed Obama’s Middle East policy. If you notice Rand never says what he is for only what he is against. I would not be shocked if Rand came out in favor of appeasing Iran.
Kim Hirsch says: I too was intrigued by Nikki Haley for a short time — mainly because she supports a strong military and US presence in the world. I would’ve preferred DeSantis but then he flipped to pander to the isolationist wing of the GOP, which disappointed me. But I’ve also soured on her.
I would add to your comments about Rand Paul that he also excused Putin’s invasion of Ukraine by saying that “he only invades countries that were once a part of Russia.” Oh, guess that makes it okay. From Putin’s lips to Rand Paul’s, since that’s precisely what Putin said.
At least he’s consistent — consistently isolationist. Oh wait, “non-interventionist.” Tomayto-Tomahto, it’s all the same.
So his #NeverNikki shtick comes as no surprise.
John Shepherd says: I never liked Rand Paul. Trump was right about him in 2016. He is both physically an intellectually lazy.
